Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old, just starting out. She says even drinking water makes her throat hurt. She has noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she has a low fever. Please ask: What foods can she eat more of if her tonsils are inflamed and swollen?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of tonsillitis in children, the daily diet should primarily be light. You can eat more vegetables and fruits, as they are relatively rich in nutrients that can effectively help boost the child's immunity. However, when choosing fruits, it's important to avoid overly cold or cooling ones. Opt for neutral ones, such as apples or kiwis. In terms of daily meals, they should be light, easy to digest, and easy to swallow, such as congee or noodles, which are excellent choices. Avoid foods like beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, and seafood, as they are considered "heating" foods during this phase. Of course, spicy and pungent foods like spicy hot pot or hot pot should also be avoided. In daily life, it's also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should go to bed early and wake up early, and engage in appropriate exercise.
